Curling Short Hair, Some heads positively need ithe hyacinthine locks which cam be dispensed with by the very young: or by. those with characteristic rather than pretty faces.. The weekly or hi-weekly waving is expensive, and it is also rather naive in that it entirely disregards the hiatus be. tween the perfectly straight hair on Monday followed, it may be,.by ultra-curly hair on* Tuesday, Ab the same time short hair is not very successfully treated either: by Jcomb waving, which leaves a hard line, or. by the ordinary means used for long' hair.

The ends of the hair should: be rolled round: the finger and pinned in small circles fat to the head, each circle being twisted in the same direction, whether this be towards the back Jof the head or towards the face.
The shorter hair round the back.of the ears should be specially treated in this way, as it is upon this that the effective spring of the head depends. In every case it should be remembered that a good " line rather than curly hair is being attempted. Very satisfactory waving can be thus achieved, and after a few experiments the hair becomes trained to fall easily into waves and curls, Hair thus treated gives a certain amount of trouble before it is tied up wet into a net for the night, but in the daytime it ceases to be any trouble at all,
